Wow, crappy reviews from the Wally world website. Guess salt just isn't salt. Never had that problem with any other brands though.

Hey all, Just an FYI. With the never ending rain of the gulf coast I've gone through a lot of salt. Usually use mortons pool salt from wally world but this time they had Clorox brand pool salt. Only difference I saw was it was fine granular vs coarse. Dumped in 2 bags but since I was headed...

Just started playing after a several year hiatus from computer games.

I'm using the built in timer. I can see form the instructions how to set speed and a start and stop time. Do you use the egg timer to set various speeds throughout the day? The vibration is below 1200 rpm, the pump looks flat on the pad and is stable. Do you think its the pump itself of the...

For the time being, back to the first question. Is there a good way to run at a low speed then at 1500 rpm for a few hrs? Also do you think the vibration I'm getting at low rpms is a big issue? I'll check the flow switch.

Pressure at 1500 is 5psi if I remember right and the pressure at 2200 was 12 which was the same as my old pump. I'll be fishing in the morning so i'll check when I get home. I don't believe I have any check valves.

I just installed a Pentair IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump 011018 and need a little help setting it up. The SWG cuts out below 1500 rpm. I was thinking about running it at 750 RPM all day with a increase of speed to 1500 for 3-4 hrs for the SWG. I figured out how to program the time for 1 speed...

are you sure it's not your goggles. Typical Salt water pool is around 3000ppm and the majority of interstitial fluid/plasma is 9000ppm (0.9%). If skin was highly permeable (which it isn't) you would loose salt, not gain it. I agree with Jason, it's something else, not the salt. Have you ever...

Our power company just began offering a $600 rebate for variable speed pool pumps. I can get a intelliflo vs-3050 online for around $850. Installed form local pool stores would be around 1200-1300. How hard would it be to put it in myself? I've never done anything quite like that before.

update if anyone is still following. I was mustard algae. Last night FC 36.5 CC 0, this morning FC 33.5 CC .5, this evening FC 26.5 CC 1. First time I've ever had a CC of 1. Water looks great. Just put in some bleach to bring the FC up to around 40 and will check the OCLT again.

Leslie's sells sucky bleach. I usually buy it form the local pool store at anywhere for 12-15%. This stuff from leslies says 10.5 % and is more like 6-7. Just had to add 2.5 gal more. I wish the other store was open on weekends. Either way its still cheaper than wallyworld

On the plus side I just realized the bubbles in my return were from the SWG. I turned it off after I added 3Gal of 12% and the bubbles went away. :shock: I'm going to try to shock it and see what happens. I'm just worried I have a cracked lateral or something else wrong with the filter...

I just shocked to pool to try it. I did notice that when I added 6 cups of DE my pressure bumped up by 1 but is now back down to where I started. I don't see andy clouds of DE coming out of the returns but could I have a filter problem.

I posted a while back about what I thought was pollen in the pool. I am having to vacuum to waste nearly every week to keep it away which is heck on chemicals and water bill. This didn't start happening till a month ago, never had this problem last year except once. It looks like a...

I think I might try to ad DE to the sand filter too
